Actually more a feature request... Now create orientations operator has an additional option, use_view, when this one is enabled it will use current view instead of active object to create the new space.
Also made some cleanup (made some funcs static).
Fix turned out to remove as much "manual UI" from 3D view header as possible. Mode selector and all transform manipulators/orientations stuff are now RNA-based UI (leaving basically only edit mesh select modes with custom handlers, as they have some quite specific features).
To achieve this, four main modifications were done:
* enum-operator-generated menus are now MENU (i.e. dropdown lists) in headers too.
* All bit-flag enums expanded in ROW buttons now have a handling consistent with e.g. layers, or what we already have for transform manipulators, i.e. clicking select only one element, shift-click to select multiple ones.
* Consequently, the three RNA booleans manipulators flags are merged into a single bit-flag enum (yes, this is also an API change, though I doubt many scripts use it).
* Now the width of enum-based dropdown lists is computed from longest item name in enum, no more from a dummy place holder string (when no label/name is given).
All this allows to remove some code from 3DView/transform areas, that was actually mostly duplicating RNA/operator one.
Also done a few optimizations here and there (among others, do not pass &numitems to RNA_property_enum_items() when you do not need it, saves at least an iteration over enum items to count them).
Many thanks to Brecht for the reviews!
- when in wireframe mode: don't snap to faces, instead snap to the closest edge/vertex.
- when not in wireframe mode: snap to the front-most element (was a problem that it could snap to an edge/vert behind the face)
- reduce the distance for selecting ruler points, was too easy to accidentally drag a ruler.
- no 2-step select edge, then slide. Instead you can slide and select the edge at the same time.
- ability to slide multiple verts at one.
supports proportional option for vertex slide and flipping, both matching edge slide functionality.
The transform operators in nodes will now use the unselected nodes to generate snapping points. Unlike object snapping, node snapping works for the x/y axes separately and snaps node borders to same borders of unselected nodes. The sensitive area for node borders extends over the whole view2D range, to enable simple alignment of nodes in both x and y direction.
For snap points in the node editor an additional enum value is stored to indicate the type of node border (left/right/top/bottom). This works as a constraint on possible node alignments: only same border types align with each other.
This commit adds some first building blocks for the two operators to work modally based on mouse input. To make their function easier, two hotkeys are introduced, Ctrl+B for bevel and I for inset.
TODO:
After discussion with Campbell, we would like to add scale-style line indicators for the operators. This is already done for transform operators but a new interface for mesh operations may have to be written using pieces from that code since, strictly speaking bevel and inset are not exactly "transform" operators.
Also, a better input method for inset is needed and more options exposed. The method implemented right now uses mouse move for thickness and ctrl-mouse move for depth. These are calculated using the distance of the selection center in screen space and the mouse position. While that may work and prevents abrupt changes in values when switching from thickness tweak mode to depth tweak mode, it limits the magnitude of values that can be put into the tool especially in small or large scale.
Alternatives until a better method is written include:
* use relative offset (works but may give strange results)
* tweak manually after the operation.
added some missing functions too - which are not used yep but should be there for api completeness.
* CDDM_set_mloop
* CDDM_set_mpoly
* BLI_mempool_count
===========================
Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk.
This commit includes:
- Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo,
re-sync with libmv repo a bit later)
- New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie
clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion
tracking operations.
- New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking
stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too.
This editor supports:
* Loading movie files/image sequences
* Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports
building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in
undistorted mode.
* Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil
* Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD.
* Basic algorithm for feature detection
* Camera motion solving. scene orientation
- New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip:
* Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name
or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track)
* Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera
This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch:
- New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch)
- Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor
(need to do more tests and gather more feedback)
- Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing
readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when
Keir will finish his current patch.
More details about this project can be found on this page:

Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.
in dope sheet/ graph editor leads to duplicated keys
The old hack using the transform "undostring" didn't work anymore, as
this wasn't set. Instead, I've added a special mode transform mode for
this that the duplicate operators can set to get this functionality.
Code changes are minimal, re-using the code as already was there.
Options are in pulldown menu, or SHIFT+T and SHIFT+ALT+T
Might be that Martin likes to see it different... do we need
a special operatortype for it?
Add hidden property to be able to force confirm on release (drag immediately is a silly name) on or off.
Streamline method for adding common properties to transform operators.
This is used to force snap on and off when needed.
Also, when transform is not run modal, it will use default values for PET and snap properties (False) instead of scene settings. No need to force them off when calling transform with Exec.
This is similar to the old retopo all option but uses the snapping code and not the openGL depth buffer (it's thus more precise).
Not sure if making it available as a snap option is sensible, this is up for discussion.
NOTE: it will get slow fast on large meshes, we need to plug in an acceleration structure into snapping.
This will need an icon too.
